Help Identifying Buckle And Button?


Recommended Posts

Found These Two Artifacts In Oregon, On Some Farmland Dating Back To The 1800's. I Believe It To Be A Buckle, And A Button But Not Sure. Can Anyone Help Identify Them Please?

Front side of buckle. The buckle is 2 inches in length and 1 inch 5/8 in width.

When My Nokta Makro Simplex+ detects it the id number shows up as a solid 90. It's not magnetic and appears to be silver. (the artifact is still dirty and needs more restoration)

Top side of button. It's about a size of a pea and when detected by my Simplex+ the id jumps around 55 and 60. The button is also not magnetic.

Your buckle is more likely chrome or nickel plated zinc, there's no scale but if it was silver and big it would be heavy. Hit it with some silver polish and if you don't get a lot of black it's not silver. 🙂

That button! Wow! The shank being "broken" leads me to think it was a leather stud. 👍 very cool find.
